So why do I code? Why do I want to create things? Why did I hate my programming courses? Why am I so lazy when coding? Why is the blog name Social coding?

There is a lot of questions that I can use to introduce myself a little more, I will talk about all this things but about more general stuff there is my about me page you can check. So having cleared this, the answers are coming.

When I was a child and got my first PC, I was intrigued about how that magic machine worked. So I began reading about technology in the internet, wow! I really didn’t want to call that internet, using your phone as the modem to have 128kbs shouldn’t count as using the internet. It was such a pain loading some webpages but that didn’t defeated my curiosity. So I start developing this love that now is a hobby and a proper career.
I always want to create a game, I was one of those children that play Age of Empires more than 6 hours a day so I get inspiration of sometime doing something that will do the same to another boy.I am such a bad person… And then I met programming, it was such a horrible experience that I thought I wouldn’t do it more.
I had a class about programming with JAVA and I love it at the beginning, it was fun and I was seeing improvements. Until one day, I was at my house and began doing a mockup for a program I wanted to do. I designed everything I want about the program and the next day with all the excitement I went to see my teacher and asked him if I could do my program instead of the other homeworks and projects and he said yes, because the difficulty was higher than the normal work.
So I began coding and then I got in a point I didn’t knew what to do so I asked my teacher. He helped my 5 minutes and promised me to teach me somethings the next day. I am still waiting that day, from that day he begun always being against me. I couldn’t said a word in class and also he accused me of copying the final project from another person, he got me into trouble and when I asked him why, he said “Because you always wanted to do what you want and be different than your classmates”. I passed the class and then hated programming because I thought everyone will be like that teacher. And then I was wrong, I discovered many pages with tutorials and forums, I gave coding a second opportunity. And here I am.
Why is the blog called like this?
Because one of the things that I love the most is helping people and if I can do something to help their lives I will love it. In the last months, I have very grateful to the Tec for all the people I have met with similar ideology. I was having a bad image about entrepreneurs because Semana I (I hate you so much!) but now I see that there is a need of people who are aware of their surroundings and problems and come up with innovative solutions. I want to do that, and that is my goal for this course. Find something I can do and make it.

I will write another post called “What?” tomorrow, but until the day arrives I will show you a great video for you to have fun and learn something about how sure you should be when selling an idea.
